North Carolina has a saltwater license, yet they are now having the luxury of having to endure a two species full closure. I seriously doubt that little, if anything can be done license or not. That is, once the feds put the hammer down. Looks like challenges similar to the RFA and Ssfff are in order by those southern boys. My money is better spent in the aforementioned orgs. Rather than a saltwater liscense. At least I can see the results that come from fighting the good fight. I veiw the license as a capitulation, should it become a reality, by the fishing fraternity of this great state. Registration YES, license NO. This isn't the lesser of two evils, it is good versus evil.

New Jersey has a way of luring is in. They start small, then increase fees at will. Sort of an open door type policy. Try to get it closed.

We HAVE to register. That IS the law for 2010. How much it will cost is anyones guess. Hopefully, nothing. In NJ that IS wishful thinking.

All avenues need to be exhausted, before the imposition of any "fees".

We are the taxed to the bone state. Additional costs don't lessen the burden.

Just my two cents.
